I have clients that still use QuickBooks Pro version 2006.  

Maybe an electronic version of the cashflow 101 game?

Most of us go through some version of living hell to find contractors we trust and if really lucky, actually like.  

The tactic you just described is a version of house hacking and can be done even without the refi!

Now, i might be using my education in an unethical way, but i decided to buy paperback versions of the books i have read and i leave them all together (10 total) on the living room coffee table. she hasn't asked me what they are for, but when she does i will tell her this is what i have read so far on REI.

Google Inbox (GTD version of GMail), and Google tools in general.

If I don't have quick access to my computer, I actually just go to the full site on my phone instead of using the app or mobile version.  

I played the Cashflow 101 online version with the wife and it's pretty straight fwd. it's fun but I wish BP would come up with a more in depth real Estate game where numbers have to be plugged in.

It's been updated since the version I read.

Is there a shorter boiler-plated contract that you have on-hand to have the seller sign to lock them up prior to the attorney's version days later?
